A NOTABLE MUSICAL EXHIBIT.

The largest exhibit made in the State
Fair this season of pianos, organs and mus
ical instruments is that of John f. Cooper.
the popular and well-known agent of the
Mathushek pianos. His magnificent dis
play is in the art gallery ofthe Pavilion. Mr..
Cooper's exhibit, however, is only an index
of what he now has in his music store, cor
ner of Seventh and J streets, which con-
slsts OF twenty-five other pianos additional
to those in the fair, and thirteen organs, all
choice instruments, and a large stock of
smaller musical instruments of the wind.
brass, and reed varieties also note his ex-
hlbit at the landing. He has more goods he
would however, liked to display in this
years State Fair, but bis space. 24x4O
feet, was. insufficient to allow him to add
more to what is said to be the largest ex-
hibit of musical goods ever before made in
the State Fair of California The solid
iron frame of the Mathushek piano, beipg
the only piano with the tuning pins pushed
into solid iron frame, can be seen in the
Art Gallery and also at his music store
corner of Seventh and streets. Mr..
Cooper claims that there are ten of these
sold TO one of any other make. See the
new style NathushekS and you certainly
will be convinced of their very superior
quality. This instrument took the silver
medal at the last Mechanics Fair and Mr..
Cooper has full confidence they will do so
again this year. Mr.. Cooper carries ten
different makes of pianos and organs in
stock. We recommend all intending pur-
chasers in the music line to give him q
call.

The magnificent herd of Hereford cattle
that attracted so much attention at the
stock parade last Saturday is from the cele-
brated stock farm of the Wyoming Here
ford Association, located seven miles east of
Cheyenne. The Association was founded
by Messrs. Swan Brothers and Morgan. and
all the cattle imported from Hereford, Eng
land, in the winter of 1882 and 1888. Geo
+. Morgan, the General Manager, is the
largest importer of Herefords in America
and is in charge of the exhibit The seven
teen brought out are selected from herd of
over two hundred and fifty, and are with
out doubt the finest representatives of this
stock ever seen on this coast.

speciaI Mention.

In the south conservatory are to be seen
examples of the product of the largest
and most complete wheel and carriage
works on the coast. This manufacturing
establishment which is owned by ]. F.
Hill, was founded in the early days of Cal
ifornia, and from the beginning it has kept
pace with Sacramento's growth until it has
assumed its present great proportions. The
factory is located at 1901 to 1928 J street,
and covers nearly half block of ground.
In referring again to Mr.. Hills exhibit, we
desire to call the readers attention to the
fine workmanship shown in the construc-
ton of each vehicle. The family carriage
which stands out the most conspicuous nj
the collection, is deserving of oarticnlar at
tention from all who may think of DUR.
chasing before returning home, Nineteen
jobs compose the display, and is made up
of single and double buggies, road carts,
sulkies, trotling wagons, business buggies
and " Noyes road cart. One of the ad-
vantages claimed for this cart is the ease
with which person can get in and out,
without the danger of being thrown into
the wheel. Mr.. Hill shows large num-
Der of wheels in an unfinished state, thus
giving the public an opportunity to exam
inc the quality of the material used and
character of the workmanship.

SPARE THE CHILDREN.

Professor Adler's remarks last Sunday on the
employment OF children at manual labor wero
forceful addition to the great body OF puDlic
complaint aeainst this most serious industrial
evil. Now, why is not something done TO
remedy iti Il seems 10 DO the inevitable and
unhappy accompaniment Of material progress
that children and girls tccomo the victims OF
competition in business. Professor Adler tells
Of 535 girls, discovered in limited tenement

years, who had been put regularly at work
for ten hours day. This is simply murder
GUS. He learns that but sixty of these un-
fortunate children arc yet in good health.
What a story Of physical suffering at time
when life, even among the poorest, should be
without actual misery. these disclosures tell.
The Legislature should act vigorously for
tho repression OF 50 great wrong. The
compulsory education law should be extended
so as to provide that children from eight to
fourteen years old must attend school through
out tho entire school year. The plea thai
there are not enough school buildings now to
accommodate even the present army OF pupils
is no excuse for not passing such law. The
people do not regret money spent for building
and maintaining their schools. Every day that
passes only makes the need for them more seri-
Gus. and increases the host Of miserable ones
who arc doomed under present conditions to
a life Of wocbcgonc slavery. 1t shonld also
be made penal offence for any one knowingly
90 employ children under fourteen years OF
age. The injustice that results from this evil
operates not Only to tho permanent injury OF
the children, but to the disadvantage OF those
to whom all such employment should properly
come.

THE SAN FRANCISCO EXPLOSION

one, comes from the same lively region. Moth
